Strong Rushing Attack Helps Alemany Defeat St. John Bosco for 1st Victory

Marwin Willard ran for two touchdowns and teammate Brian Van Holten rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown to lead Alemany High to a 22-7 Del Rey League victory over St. John Bosco on Friday night at Alemany.

The victory was the first for Alemany, which had dropped several close games.

Willard had 11 carries for 55 yards and scored on one-yard runs in the first and fourth quarters. Van Holten scored on a 10-yard run in the third quarter.

Brian Plasky kicked a 20-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in the second quarter to give the Indians a 9-7 halftime lead.

Alemany (1-5-1, 1-1 in league play) allowed only 77 yards. Jason Hamilton’s five-yard run in the second quarter was the only score for the Braves (1-5-1, 0-2).

Alemany quarterback Chris Tashima completed three of eight passes for 57 yards and also rushed 11 times for 46 yards. Hamilton, the St. John Bosco quarterback, completed four of 14 passes for 16 yards.

The contest was marred by a brawl between the teams moments after the game. Both benches emptied and players exchanged punches but the teams were quickly separated by coaches and officials.
